Sharing entertainment that is, and is not, Woke Infected.
Let me know if you spot something.

@TSinman84 @OfLondor @AphroditesScorn Dammit, I got baited by some a weirdo's bot account.

A reminder to always check...

[Blake Nowokery @WokeInfected]

@TSinman84 @OfLondor @AphroditesScorn Nope, and I was actually around then.
Obviously you were not...

If you were, you would know "politically correct" from the 90s meant the opposite of wokeness.

[Blake Nowokery @WokeInfected]

@brayzt_ Good question.
Take the cost, $250 million.
Add the theater cut and marketing, so double it.

Anywhere near $500 million = bomb
$700-800 million = underperformed
$1 billion+ = success

[Blake Nowokery @WokeInfected]

People act like The Odyssey is going to be HUGE because very limited IMAX 70mm screens are selling out in California or whatever...

I can still easily get tickets to all but one 70mm time in my area.

*Odyssey will be great for the gays, but have a disappointing box office.

[Blake Nowokery @WokeInfected]

@AIna_artmusic @StellarBlade This makes the unforced error by SHIFT UP all the more painfully obvious.

Good grief....

[Blake Nowokery @WokeInfected]

@StellarBlade Also, when your peers at Pearl Abyss announce that over 80% of their revenue comes from the West, it makes your design choice even more baffling.

Yes, we understand cultures are different, but that doesn't make Evie look any less child-like or androgynous to our Western eyes...

[Blake Nowokery @WokeInfected]

@StellarBlade SHIFT UP, I absolutely love Stellar Blade!
I played through it 5 times...

Why are ignoring your customers?

You know darn well we bought Stellar Blade because of what Eve represents.
Then we stayed for the gameplay, the outfits, and even the story.

Why make this unforced error?

[Blake Nowokery @WokeInfected]

@HwangSeong96 @MagoKiyoshii @melscanvas_ "Full greatness of the game"?
Who talks like that other than Ai?

[Blake Nowokery @WokeInfected]

@HwangSeong96 @melscanvas_ Is that supposed to be a good shot?

As a man, I still see a beautiful actress who has been uggified.

A pink and purple color scheme signaling a game for girls and gays.

That's absolutely fine, but men cannot be shamed into shutting up and buying it.
Not any more, at least.

[Blake Nowokery @WokeInfected]

@OfLondor @AphroditesScorn FF13 came out in 2009, before the
Woke-era.

Before 90% of Western entertainment became vapid, empty, subversive garbage.

Garbage they still expect men to buy.

They can make what they want, but we will not be shamed into being quiet, and certainly not into buying it.
No more...

[Blake Nowokery @WokeInfected]

@AphroditesScorn Correct.
So-called "misogyny" HAS gotten louder.

A response to everything being made lame, gay, and full of girlbosses sans depth.

It's funny that Western entertainment industries feel entitled to men's money while completely failing to deliver what we want.

Are you surprised?

[Blake Nowokery @WokeInfected]

@brayzt_ We shall see.

[Blake Nowokery @WokeInfected]

@JayViperTV @YorchTorchGames Why make the spinoff first then?

It's like James Gunn making Supergirl and Clayface before Batman.
Modern Hollywood are id10ts, but SHIFT UP making this unforced error?

Especially when a majority of their revenue comes from a Western market starved for anti-woke games.

[Blake Nowokery @WokeInfected]

@YorchTorchGames What people don't seem to understand is that we are upset because we care.

What companies like SHIFT UP and Pearl Abyss cannot afford is what comes next.
Apathy...
Silence...
Disinterest...

[Blake Nowokery @WokeInfected]

@YorchTorchGames "You have these claws and these fangs!"
"And with these you don't know how to kill the bunny!"

This scene from Swingers is how currently I feel about SHIFT UP.

Pearl Abyss recently announced over 80% of revenue comes from the West.
I'm sure SHIFT UP is similar...

[Blake Nowokery @WokeInfected]

@Adamantright @Nerdrotics We had the original trilogy on laser disk when I was very young.
And strangely, I'm one of the few who like the prequels even more.

But then Disney and their "not so secret gay agenda" ruined it all.

It's kind of impressive how they turned a rabid fandom to apathy.

[Blake Nowokery @WokeInfected]

@Nerdrotics The Odyssey will be a bigger flop than expected, too

Most people are now finally tuned in to the culture.
Hollywood can no longer bank on normies showing up because it's Star Wars or a Nolan movie.

Premium seats are easy to get in my city, because The Odyssey is very gay!

[Blake Nowokery @WokeInfected]

@Jiraiman0201 @VirtueOfVeritas @Tectone Receipts.
Companies like SHIFT UP and Pearl Abyss now rely on the West to import billions of dollars into the Korean Penninsula.

And who is sending this money?
Primarily, red-blooded American men.

We absolutely loved Stellar Blade.
The so-called "pushback" there was not real.

[Blake Nowokery @WokeInfected]

@Jiraiman0201 @VirtueOfVeritas @Tectone "Cultural Imperialism" because we have an opinion?
Wild take...!

The West, specifically the USA, completely props up your entertainment industry in South Korea, and yet we can't have an opinion?

Pearl Abyss just released financials showing 80% of revenue is from the West!
80%!

[Blake Nowokery @WokeInfected]

This person says we can't have an opinion about South Korean made video games.
That it's "Cultural Imperialism" or something...

I say, that when your largest entertainment companies are making over 80% of their revenues from the West, you should listen!

[地雷MAN @Jiraiman0201]

@WokeInfected @VirtueOfVeritas @Tectone 서양인들이 자신들의 내러티브와 정치철학, 미적 가치와 다르면 적을 만난것 마냥 어떻게든 교정하고 가르치려고 드는거 같아서 신물이 납니다.
스텔라블레이드 전작이 공개되었을때도 똑같은 반응이었죠.
서양의 아름다움 기준에만 한국이 따르고 순종해야하는 이유가 있을까요. 문화제국주의인가요?
